10.) Fishermen have been studying how the number of dead sea turtles in the local bay is related to the pollution index of the b

ay. The number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118. Which value represents the slope and what does it mean in the context of the scenario?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:

f (x) = m*x + b   or  y=m*x + b

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.

The slope m measures the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, that is, the x axis.  According to the value of the slope m, the linear function can be increasing if m> 0, decreasing if m <0 or constant if m = 0.

You know that the number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118.   Then the value of the slope is 13.42. In this scenario, the slope indicates that the number of deaths of sea turtles grows in a proportion of 13.42 with respect to the pollution index of the bay.

in a canoe race, a team paddles downstream 480 m in 60 s. The same team makes the trip upstream in 80 s. Find the team's rate in
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
480=60(v+s) 

480=60v+60s

8=v+s

s=8-v...

480=80(v-s)  using s from above we get:

480=80(v-(8-v))

6=v-8+v

6=2v-8

2v=14

v=7, and since s=8-v, s=1

So the rate of the team is 7m/s while the rate of the stream is 1m/s

Helen determined she walks about 1,800 steps per 4/5 mile. How many steps did she take if she walked 3 miles?
olga_2 [115]
1,800\ steps\ \ \rightarrow\ \  \frac{4}{5} \ mile\\ x\ \ \rightarrow\ \ 3\ miles\\ \\\frac{4}{5} \cdot x=1,800\cdot 3\ /\cdot\frac{5}{4} \\ \\x=1,800\cdot\frac{5}{4}\cdot3 \\ \\x=450\cdot15\\ \\x=6750\ [steps]
